If your talking about the leverage ratio the Meta 6 goes from about 2.7 to 2.55 which I'm guessing is broadly speaking a med ratio. If your looking at the Rock shox monarch chart it's very generic and doesn't take in to count many factors. I run a L tune RT3 and it works for me. The Monarchs tend to be overdamped in compression so the L tune smooths it out on trail chunder. The Meta 6 has plenty of antisquat so doesn't need a higher comp tune to stop pedal bob.

not intending to hijack the OP...but my question is related.
i recently purchased a 2012 META AM2 and it uses the 7.875 x 2.25 rear shock length and stroke.
I need a shock and was looking at the fox float CTD in a medium tune, but was thinking maybe going with the low.
I hate firm riding platforms.
Based on info I found...if I take the 6" travel and divide by the 2.25" stroke it = 2.66. The info states this is a medium platform ratio.
Any thoughts?
